Episode 7 - Swordsmith Village Arc - Demon Slayer : Kimetsu No Yaiba - Awful Villain from Nerds, Geeks and Gamers

Yaiba, "Blade of Demon Destruction"[4]) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Koyoharu Gotouge. It was serialized in Shueisha's shōnen manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Jump from February 2016 to May 2020, with

its chapters collected in 23 tankōbon volumes. It has been published in English by Viz Media and simultaneously published by Shueisha on

their Manga Plus platform. It follows teenage Tanjiro Kamado, who strives to become a Demon Slayer after

his family was slaughtered and his younger sister, Nezuko, turned into a demon. The story takes place in Taishō era Japan, where a secret society, known as the

Demon Slayer Corps, has been waging a secret war against demons for centuries.

The demons are former humans who were turned into demons by Muzan Kibutsuji injecting them with his own blood, and

they feed on humans and possess supernatural abilities such as super strength,

powers that demons can obtain called "Blood Demon Art", and

regeneration. The Demon Slayers, on the other hand, are entirely human;

however, they employ special elemental breathing techniques, known as

"Breathing Styles", which grant them superhuman strength and

increased resistance, helping them fight against demons. The strongest Demon

Slayers are known as the Hashira, and gain this rank through either killing a

member of the Twelve Kizuki (the twelve strongest demons under Muzan) or

killing fifty demons after ranking up multiple times.
